i think you should remember his name, i wish he had his picture, because he'll be the new katherine harris. remember her? she was the secretary of state of florida. he's a republican, and was elected in 2010. he sent absentee ballot applications to every voter in ohio. and then some took part n sending back the absentee ballots. some got the ballots after requesting them, they'll go to the polling place on election day, and say no, you must cast a provisional ballots, and those can't be counted for 10 days. the long and short of it, i figure about a half million provisional ballots will be cast that won't be counted. and then to make matters worse, he send a directive out on friday saying that if the poll workers don't accurately put something in the envelope, the vote could be negated. the democrats are obviously going to go into court and try to overturn this. so you have a real big mess in ohio. >> very murky rationale there. a clear winner come tuesday night? >> unless the president wins in florida and virginia and doesn't need ohio and also wins in wisconsin and iowa and nevada and ne

lived in the region since 2007 can forget the colossal fraud perpetrated by the tax office manager harry walters who ripped off the tax office to the tune of $48 million. that monster scam preceded a case uncovered in 2011 that involved a tax examiner who generated phoney refunds totaling more than $400,000. recently a third case of fraud has come to light. an ex-employee of the office of tax and revenue pleaded guilty to filing 282 false d.c. tax returns and 973 false federal returns that netted tax refunds of more than $14.7 million. then there's the issue of transparency or the lack of it. gandhi's scheme to leave internal audits in draft form so that he was not required to release the audit results smacks of someone who is more concerned about his reputation and job security than serving the city. this lack of transparency has now triggered a confidential informal inquiry by the securities and exchange commission who is concerned there may have been a failure to disclose material findings from internal audits at the time of bond offerings, what a mess. why would d.c. think it can aff
